Sorry to hear that you were not able find the source of the sound. The symptoms you have described are very similar to what I experienced with a faulty water pump. My van was quiet at idle, which is why I needed to have my son get the engine up to around 1500-2000 RPM while I probed around with the stethoscope (when driving around it almost sounded like the fan clutch was locked up and fully engaged, except with a bit more of a squeal/whine in the noise).

The power steering pump can squeal (but it's usually more of an angry moan), the hydroboost can also make some unique noises, and so can a bad a/c compressor. Hopefully a mechanic can figure it out without having to throw a bunch of money at it chasing parts.

Yeah I dont think it would be the pump...that moan is a sound that you can't mistake once you hear....I can't think of anything else other then a.bad alignment or glazed pulleys. Luckily I know a good mechanic so ill find out soon what the problem is.

Harmonic balancer was the issue

Ok so replaced harmonic balancer and car is still squealing..mechanic thinks its the crankshaft but im skeptical of that. I would think a bad crankshaft would make more noise than a squeal...the harmonic balancer is still wobbling even after replacement.
